Mental Health Support in the Workplace: Whose Responsibility Is It Anyway?
Apr 26, 2023 Season 1 Episode 12
Chava Vietze

Over and over we are seeing articles talking about mental health in the workplace. Finally, it's starting to take center stage! The importance of caring for one's mental health and the immense influence that work has on our mental health.

Still, we continue to see burnout, unhealthy work environments, and teams unequipped to manage the stress that we endure.

So whose responsibility is it anyway? Who should support employees mental health and wellbeing?

In this episode, Chris Henrichs, Cofounder and Head of Partnerships at Boon Health, joins me to discuss the role of employers in supporting employees' (peoples') mental health and how it directly impacts their performance, personal, and professional development. Key take aways will include statistics and ROI (return on investment) of investing in employee wellbeing along with discussions on how organizations are helping ease the transition during layoffs for both those departing the organization and those remaining.
